Tell me, is it a smart business model for Twitter to prevent people from using Twitter? Asking for a friend.
Like most liberal narratives, it fell apart under the smallest amount of examination. Real people aren't reading 6,000 tweets in a day, but government AI bots need to collect all that data to train their systems to identify wrongthink.

You probably ought to move on to whatever the latest liberal/neoconservative explanation of the Nordstream pipeline attack is. This conspiracy theory is played out.
However, real people were limited to 300-600 tweets and that's fairly easy to reach. Judging by the trending "W_T_F Twitter", "rate limited", "Thanks Elon!", etc., I'd say it upset a lot of people.

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered some Biden administration agencies and top officials not to communicate with social media companies about certain content, handing a win to GOP states in a lawsuit accusing the government of going too far in its effort to combat Covid-19 disinformation.

Nothing braver on the Internet than a guy who defends the FBI, the CIA, and the military industrial complex.

Musk may not be anybody's idea of a great free speech advocate, but the First Amendment violating Federal Government doesn't get exposed without him buying Twitter and giving Matt Taibbi access to expose their malfeasance and for that, he has done a far greater public service than pretty much anyone admired by your average stooopid Biden voter.
For the owner of a private company, I can't think of anybody who has sacrificed more for the greater good than he has. It's pretty incredible. Some here look at him taking a financial loss and think it's hilarious, while this guy has done more to save your rights from government end arounds on the 1st amendment then you'll ever appreciate.

Some of Musks alleged transgressions:

"Questioning the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines, and baselessly asserting that there were "quite a few negative reactions" to getting a second shot"

Not baseless; now widely and thoroughly documented.

"Likening Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau to Hitler"

The Left loves doing the same. He did hammer truckers and apparently acts in authoritarian ways.

G4R or Okaydo posts a video of a police officer using excessive force on a suspect.

Angrywhinybear89 trolls, What do you think of the cops behavior, oski?

Oski writes, the force on the suspect appears excessive.

Angrywhinybear89 cries, "Appears? Wah, Wah, you cop loving butt kisser!!! Wah Wah Wah. Wah Wah Wah. I want my mommy! Wah Wah Wah. Goo Goo ga ga. Elon is mean too!!! Goo Goo ga ga. Mommy!!!!!!!"

Worst thing I've heard about Elno is that he hates his transgender child (and vice versa) and that a lot of his Twitter shenanigans are part of that battle. It's not surprising given that he wields Twitter to punish Tesla critics, etc.

Most of the people who support him do so out of convenience because his interests currently align with theirs. He's a capricious dude and sooner or later will fall out of favor with MAGAts just like he has with his precious weird nerd fans.

I've also come to view the online MAGAs also as "weird nerds." I mean, these people earnestly follow accounts called "Trollstoy" and "Catturd." Weird!

What's really weird here is the sudden obsession with Musk, which seems to be a new TDS side effect. There are dozens of CEOs who are far more sociopathic and evil than Musk, but his detractors don't care.

Musk is an American hero, I can't think of anyone else who has done as much as him to revive US industry, he has provided nearly a million quality American jobs. Most of the people he has fired from Twitter were overpaid tech deadwood, HR, digital hall monitors and layers of project managers.

That is the only account I trust (though they might occasionally err in their rhino rampage reports) :

He has brought it on himself by trying to be a celebrity and openly promoting his politics in public. Then he chose to buy a massive social media platform. Of course he gets more attention than other random CEOs who keep quiet in the media. Nothing weird about it.

He promoted Free Speech, outted government censorship, and upended a Liberal megaphone. His third sin is what bites him.
